At that moment, Zhang Yan was working hard to get a driver's license for a big truck.
"We should first do half a lap here and then look at the rearview mirror. We have to walk a little slower …"
After Safe and Civilized Driving opened the live-stream function in the game, there were all kinds of live-streams.
There were really truck drivers in real life who were live-streaming how to get a driver's license.
Zhang Yan watched for a long time as well. She used a small notebook to jot down all the key points of the test that the teaching streamer said. Then, through the special live-stream function of Bunny Tail Live-Stream, she could clearly see the steering wheel rotation and the various details of the operation. She tried her best to remember them.
Even though the ideal was very rich and the reality was very harsh, she was still a little flustered when she really entered the examination hall. However, she had improved a lot compared to the previous situation where she was completely at a loss.
In the beginning, Zhang Yan had no idea how to control the butt behind the truck. Now, she had finally found the trick.
Of course, there were also some people who were teaching racing and drifting in the live-stream. However, Zhang Yan did not plan to go on the racing track in-game.
That was because it was very expensive to go on the racing track in-game. The threshold was too high. She had to drive a big truck to earn more money before she could go.
There were obviously more people in the live-stream than before. As a good-looking female live-streamer, Zhang Yan obviously had an advantage among the live-streamers who were live-streaming "Safe and Civilized Driving".
Of course, there was another important reason. She was different from other female live-streamers. She was not here to leech on the popularity, but she truly loved this game.
Some female live-streamers said that their live-streams were about games, but to put it bluntly, they were live-streaming themselves.
They did not do their homework before the live-stream, did not study the game mechanism, did not listen to the guidance of the kind-hearted people on the bullet screen, and did not practice their skills. They just kept dying. After they died, they would either be incompetent and furious, or pretend to be pitiful and act cute. It was called "program effect".
It was just like how it was natural for girls not to play games well.
It was the same for Safe and Civilized Driving. Many female live-streamers were just following the trend. They could even take three days to get a driver's license.
Zhang Yan did not like the "female driver" joke either. The drivers in this world should not be divided into "male drivers" and "female drivers". They should be divided into "responsible drivers" and "irresponsible drivers".
However, it had to be said that there was something wrong with the female live-streamers' attitude towards games or driving.
Sometimes, it wasn't because they were incapable, but simply because their attitude was wrong.
As for Zhang Yan, she was like a clear stream among these female anchors. She didn't engage in crooked ways and just drove seriously.
The audience in the live broadcast room could see that she was studying seriously and constantly improving her driving skills. She was improving every day.
Her driving skills in the game made many viewers feel ashamed of their own inferiority.
The popularity of Zhang Yan's live-stream rose very quickly. The increase in the number of viewers triggered the recommendation mechanism of Bunny Tail Live-Stream, gradually forming a positive cycle.
Compared to other live-stream platforms, Bunny Tail Live-Stream's recommendation effect was much better.
The reason was very simple. It was because the live-stream popularity of Bunny Tail Live-Stream was not fake!
As long as the number of live broadcast rooms rose, the host would definitely have something unique about them. It would not be a problem for them to give recommendations. The audience could also rest assured to look for live broadcasts in the recommendation slot without worrying about being cheated by fake popularity.
In short, for the past two days, Zhang Yan's live broadcast of "Safe and Civilized Driving" had gained a lot of fans!
"Congratulations, you've passed the test!"
Zhang Yan was so excited that she almost jumped out of her chair. Unfortunately, she was fastened with a seatbelt.
"Great, we finally passed!"
"I can finally drive a big truck to transport goods long distances!"
"Let me see which big truck to buy first."
Zhang Yan had not been taking the driving license test for a big truck for the past few days. She had also spent a lot of time on online car-hailing. She had saved up a sum of money so that she could afford to buy a big truck immediately after taking the driving license test.
That was because the final price for long-distance transportation would be different without her own truck. Therefore, this initial investment was still very necessary.
Zhang Yan had also learned her lesson. She first went online to look at the reviews.
On one hand, it was to look at the driving experience of the truck. On the other hand, it was to look at its safety and the economy of maintenance!
It was not just Zhang Yan. It had become common sense for almost all players of Safe and Civilized Driving to look at the reviews before buying a car.
The car owners who had bought the Passat in the game had already experienced this bloody lesson.
When they first came into contact with this game, everyone bought a car casually. They all felt that the cars in the game would at most be a little different in terms of performance. The other aspects would definitely not be too different.
However, after playing, they realized that they were much worse!
For some cars, one could stay in the hospital for a few months and still be able to keep their lives. But for some cars, one touch and one would die on the spot.
Of course, many people online were also scolding, especially the car owners of the Passat. They felt that the game should be prejudiced against certain car brands, especially the joint venture cars. The data given was too rubbish. It was obvious that the game was deliberately trying to discredit them.
Many people also understood why there were so few car brand authorizations in Safe and Civilized Driving. Which brand would be willing to let their cars be tormented in the game?
Many car brands clearly stipulated when authorizing racing games: the car damage could not exceed a certain limit. Therefore, in many racing games, there would be situations where a 200km/h crash would only knock off the front hood.
After all, cars in the game would be smashed to pieces with just a touch. It was easy to leave a bad impression that the quality of the car was very poor.
Car manufacturers licensed their cars to game companies. They certainly could not accept the game's subtle negative impact on players.
Therefore, Safe and Civilized Driving did not get any significant authorizations. The authorizations for several brands in real life came from some small domestic car manufacturers. For example, the domestic HF6 that Zhang Yan had driven before. The other foreign brands and models were magically modified.
There were also a lot of haters who made an issue of this point. Of course, they wouldn't authorize you if you discredited other people's brands. You deserved it!
But for players like Zhang Yan, although there was a lot of criticism outside, it was just a small interlude.
The game still had to be played as usual. It was just that there was an extra step to look at the review before buying a car.
Many uploaders also took this opportunity to release test and interpretation videos of various cars in Safe and Civilized Driving. It was very popular.
After several selections, Zhang Yan finally chose the latest flagship model of an established domestic car manufacturer. The whole car cost 450,000 yuan. According to the review, this model was considered to be fully in line with high-end European models. It was safe and practical.
Of course, if one was really rich, it was best to buy the top foreign brands of trucks. While supporting domestic products, one had to face the gap.
But Zhang Yan did not have that much money at the moment.
She was not in a hurry. Anyway, if she used this car to run long-distance freight, she should be able to make money quickly. When the time came, she could think about changing cars.
"Finally, I can drive a big truck!"
Zhang Yan looked at the driver's seat of a big truck on the screen. It was completely different from the family car she had driven before.
First of all, the field of view was very different!
The floor of the driver's seat of this car was 1.6 meters off the ground. After sitting in it, the whole person would feel "high up."
If it was the first time experiencing this field of view, it would always feel as if the left and right sides of the line were also pressed, and it would take some time to get used to it.
Zhang Yan had spent so much effort to get her driver's license before. Of course, she was used to this kind of thing.
In fact, for such a large heavy truck, the comfort of the driver's seat was also an important aspect to consider. For example, whether the bed was comfortable to sleep in, whether the height of the roof allowed people to walk freely in the car, whether there were small tables and kettles, and so on.
After all, in reality, many long-distance drivers had to eat and rest in the driver's seat.
However, these problems did not exist in the game. What was more important was the control and safety.
The only regret was that the control panel in the package could not be used to its full potential. This was because there were many long-distance bus buttons on it, such as opening and closing the car doors.
She would only be able to experience all of its functions after she got her long-distance bus driver's license.
Of course, Zhang Yan felt that she had even passed the most difficult driving test. She could prepare later and get her long-distance bus driver's license should not be a problem.
"Then … Dear viewers, let's go! The old driver is on the road! "
Although Zhang Yan had driven an online car-hailing service for a long time and had run many times, she still felt nervous and excited when she switched to a big truck.
Fun!
Many people who did not play driving simulation games would find it hard to understand. What was so fun about this thing? Had they not driven enough in real life?
However, for players who really liked this type of game, driving in the game and driving in real life were two completely different concepts.
The scenery in the game was better, the roads were smoother, and there was more freedom to play. Although they still had to abide by the traffic rules, it was still a game after all. In general, they still enjoyed the fun of driving.
However, in real life, driving for a long time was tiring, and they could not stop at any time. The scenery on the road was not necessarily good, or they were not in the mood to enjoy the scenery on the road. Their minds were highly tense the entire time.
Moreover, how many people in real life had the opportunity to drive a big truck for long distances?
From Zhang Yan's point of view, Safe and Civilized Driving had obviously achieved a good compromise in terms of driving experience.
It was not as tense and tiring as driving in real life. It still maintained a certain degree of entertainment. Moreover, by adjusting the driving time and the value of driving to earn money, the players in the game would not be so tired and could enjoy driving.
At the same time, it was not as unrealistic as other racing games. It would not give the players an "indifferent" attitude. In order to avoid accidents, they would still maintain a certain degree of vigilance.
This feeling could be said to be just right.
In fact, the feeling of a game could be simply and crudely understood as: the best balance between reality and surreality.
On one hand, the game's content would guide and restrict the players' behavior. On the other hand, the game's content would provide the players with a surreal sensory experience.
If the former was overemphasized, it would become teaching the players to play the game, which would greatly reduce the fun of the game and make it boring. If the latter was overemphasized, it might cause the game to be too detached from reality. It might be fun in the early stages, but it would quickly become boring.
Although Safe and Civilized Driving was not perfect in this regard, it had already surpassed most of the racing and driving simulation games on the market!
